You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y * (1-x) = z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y-xy =z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-xy = z -y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = (z-y) / ( -y) = -z/y +1 =1-z/y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check by letting x=4, y=2, then z=-6,,,,ok for both original and answer \n" ); document.write( "
